A letter from Edward Hitchcock to an unidentified geologist at Bowdoin College informing him that although a copy of Hitchcock's "Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts" was promised to the librarian there, a copy may not be sent for some time. Hitchcock encourages the recipient to let him know if he or the librarian can think of a good way to get a copy there. Hitchcock also expresses his regret that the recipient was not at the recent Boston meeting of the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists.
